Do You Have The Winning Ticket?

"I live in a loving, abundant, harmonious universe, and I am grateful."

The current jackpot for the California Mega Million lottery is $266,000,000 - and I hold the winning ticket for tomorrow's drawing! (sigh) Perhaps! ; )

Fantasizing about great wealth is a frequent pastime for many of us. How wonderful it would be not to worry about paying the bills, to be able to be spread kindness to the world, to be able to buy whatever we want, and have the freedom to travel as often as we'd like. It's a lovely fantasy, but how realistic is it, really?

The one mistake that many of us make is to believe that money will solve all our problems, and our lives will become smooth and serene. Not true! Having more money might help ease certain struggles, but it will not transform our lives. If anything, having a lot of money can bring on a new set of problems beyond anything we might imagine.

Before we will TRULY be ready to handle increased abundance of any kind, we need to develop certain qualities within ourselves.

Do you truly feel that you deserve abundance? If we struggle with poor self-esteem and don't have a positive self-image, we continue to push abundance away when it presents itself. In this case, we might need to work more on our sense of worth before we can accept true abundance.

Remember that we create the quality of our own lives, moment to moment, and it all begins with our thoughts. Thoughts become reality. If our present lives don't resemble the lives we'd rather be living, we can choose to examine the reasons for it, take responsibility for our actions, and make a commitment to improving our circumstances. While this can be a lot of work, realizing that it's all within our power to create our own reality can be very powerful!

Feel abundant now, and be thankful for what you already have. Always stay true to yourself and others around you. Believe in the ability of the universe to deliver to you the abundance that you desire.

Don't forget to purchase a lottery ticket tonight, for the fun of it - and if you win, that would be AWESOME! But if you'd don't, hey, better luck next time.... :)

Peace & Joy,
